Chapter 820 - 373: Request for Reinforcements (3)
The Golden Lion Kingdom and the Redwood Kingdom can be understood, as they haven’t had a close relationship with the Church.
But many other duchy nobles have been entangled with the Church.
Yet now, all those people from the Church have vanished, as if they evaporated into thin air.
Otherwise, the ghoul plague wouldn’t have spread so quickly.
The only plausible theory is that the Holy Council plans to use these Undead to deplete the strength of the eastern continent, weaken Luo De’s army, and then seize an opportunity to attack.
As a result, Luo De needs to conserve his strength even more.
"Are there any traces of the Necromancer?" Luo De asked Chris.
"No."
Chris slightly shook his head, "We haven’t found any, not even in Ancient Wood City."
"They must be nearby, otherwise those ghouls wouldn’t be attacking the Ancient Wood Duchy systematically."
Luo De said, frowning.
Without Necromancers or leaders directing them, these ghouls would not only spread out to hunt but also attack each other.
Instead of attacking a specific city or town in hordes like they are now.
"What are those Necromancers planning?"
Luo De asked thoughtfully, pointing to the map, "Where are the remaining ghouls?"
The Flame Dragon Empire has gone through dozens of battles, killing nearly two hundred thousand ghouls.
But for the millions of ghouls, it’s just a drop in the ocean.
And among the slain ghouls, the strongest were just some giant ghouls.
Like the kind that Black Flame crushed the head of.
Massive in size, powerful, but still just ghouls.
Luo De had a premonition.
He kept feeling that those Necromancers were holding back something big.
So Luo De kept searching for traces of those Necromancers—at least Lomisa hadn’t appeared yet.
She must be plotting something.
It’s worth mentioning that Luo De learned a lot from the captured Church priests.
Originally, it was the Dawn Church that conspired with Lomisa to kill Emperor Agna.
The goal was to weaken the world will’s governance—a concept Luo De preferred to call the world’s fortune.
An emperor like the one from the Shuiyan Clan brought order to the world, allowing it to develop stably, earning the favor of the world will.
Similar to the Son of Heaven in Luo De’s previous life, considered the Mandate of Heaven.
Of course, this mandate wasn’t the world will directly intervening.
It was more like a natural selection, where success led to recognition and even favor by the world will.
The Church wanted to destroy this order, weaken this fortune, and return order to chaos.
Only then could faith spread, allowing gods to intervene.
But in this process, Luo De unexpectedly attacked, breaking the Holy Council’s conspiracy.
Now, it seems, the Magic and Death Church must be plotting something again.
Chris also fell into silence.
After a long pause, Luo De spoke, "Once the battlefield is cleaned up, have the legion retreat."
The land tainted by the Undead is of no use to Luo De.
Luo De needs people, and the Flame Dragon Empire has enough land to sustain them.
There aren’t many living people left in the Ancient Wood Duchy, so the army doesn’t need to stay.
As long as no humans provide resources, the ghoul legion won’t continue to expand.
Once the Flame Dragon Empire’s army is rested and supplies are sufficient, they can recapture the land in due time.
"All troops will alternately cover the retreat."
"Move all food supplies,
Luo De paused, his eyes growing cold, "As for those unwilling to leave, let them feed the ghouls."
"Understood, Your Majesty."
Chris replied respectfully.
He immediately turned and began conveying orders.
Luo De stood before the map, brows tightly knit.
Just as Luo De was deep in thought, Guard Serge entered, respectfully reporting,
"Your Majesty, a Witch has been sent back from the front, claiming to be seeking aid from Ancient Wood Castle."
